This is by no means a reflection on fellow posters who live in this region, but good lord - incest is alive & well...
It was feral, it was frumpy, it was scary, it was lumpy. I was asked numerous times for a smoke, for a light, for money & even a fight.
Kids swearing & kicking their parents, blokes abusing their missus, grandmothers with horrific tattoos - you couldn’t make this shit up. But it was spend, spend, spend. The lineups to get in, for food & drink and for showbags were astronomical - the food vans were making a killing (and as one vendor said to me with a big grin, “most of it is cash”).
The beer however was reasonably priced. I was chatting to a bloke at the bar which summed it up for me...
“Been to the show before?” he asked me
“Not this one” I replied
“Bit of an eye opener isn’t it? Where you from?”
“Seaview Downs”
“I used to live near there. She’s a different world out here, mate.”
Yep.
Yes it is lol
I dont know who would attend the show, all the sports minded people would be at the local footy
